Voice Over Update

Half of the voice over for my movie trailer has been completed. However, the voice actor for the main male lead was not available and I was unable to contact anyone else. I will be able to contact them Thursday this week for the voice over and plan to add it to the movie trailer on this friday.


Additional Update
 I have recently trimmed the audio file down in order to be in time with my movie trailer. I had created this by watching the movie trailer along side the recording process. I had used Apple's GarageBand whilst recording the voice over. 

Update

With both tasks finished, I can now move onto answering the questions. Next week I plan to add the voice over to my movie trailer as a new layer of sound on Imovie. After this is done, I will use different software to present my answers to the questions on. These will further be displayed on my blog.

Final magazine cover

This is the final draft of the magazine cover. The only changes I had made where to add another sub heading. I had originally intended to create a new 'plus!' banner found at the bottom of the page. However, as I had started to do it, I didn't like the idea as it was in contrast with the 'EMPIRE' title too much with being in white. I decided not to make the change.

Magazine Cover update

Here is the transitioning of the main image and the editing gone into creating the movie poster. I started off by painting the background and using a gradient, whilst having the main image cut out on top. I added shadow to the main image and different editing features such as contrast and gamma to bring down the vibrancy. I used the paint tool to colour the purple shadows of the cup and reflection on to the face- as well as defining the eyes by making them darker. I also used the smudge tool to make the image look crisper.

I then proceeded to add the headings and barcode by using the text tool and adding drop shadows in order to read them. I did this all by looking at my style models and making creative decisions in order for it to be effective in its genre and as a movie magazine regarding the conventions.

Magazine Cover update

Over the Easter holiday term I had taken the pictures needed for magazine front cover. I chose the one that would have the most impact on the front. In order to reach conventions of the movie genre along with the conventions of a music magazine I researched into the covers of others. I had found that the dystopian genre on a cover was very must darker. To reach the aim of it classifying as a cover for the genre, I had the main character wear a black shirt and have her hair down. This gave a darker sort of feel to the image to which I could then add some embossing and Gamma to the image to define the shadows.

Magazine cover

Some minor changes are to be made. However, this is a draft of the final product of my movie magazine cover.
